As soon as we stepped off the elevator it smelt like boiled cabbage and aqua boogie! I don't know how to translate what I smelled, but eww! I went to the bathroom and it didn't smell the same in there, the bathroom actually smelled better. Lol. Confusing. She checked in and was given her paperwork to complete, and was called back within 8 minutes. There was supposed to be a small procedure done but she was advised they didn't have the device so she'd have to schedule another appointment. My issue is why if they knew the device wasn't available, why not call and reschedule with the patient?? Other than that, the appointment went fine. She said the Dr was nice and tried to keep her comfortable!! The staff was friendly and the office was clean. Check them out!!

I used VB OBGYN for this last pregnancy. We moved here when I was around 15 weeks pregnant and…read morefinished my care here. They have a rotation of all women doctors and nurse practitioners that you'll see, and I never saw the same one twice. I absolutely loved two that I met, Dr. Randolph and FNP. Javier. Both kind, didn't rush our appointments, answered all my questions, and it felt like they genuinely cared. I can say there were two that I absolutely disliked, from their condescending attitudes to their awful bedside manners. I thankfully never saw them again, and neither were on rotation for my birth. Dr. Butts, whom I didn't see during my pregnancy, delivered my baby. She was great. Very calm, and professional. I actually really liked her, and I'm glad she was the one who delivered my baby. I had a great experience. The front desk girls are helpful and kind, and though some were training, they immediately went and asked others for help when they weren't sure. When trying to make an appointment or reach the office, I wouldn't try calling after 4, because very rarely did I get someone to answer.

A "Best of Business" banner that's over 5yrs old still hanging up out front. And the proudly displayed typed word document advertising Ozimpic for patients at the check in window.... A main concern of mine is experiencing pain (I'll spare a lot of the details but we can not figure out why) Dr. HARDYS response was "have you tried having kids? That can help with Endo pain". What a dangerous and ridiculous suggestion. I have never been diagnosed with Endo or ever had a doctor suggest that's what I had. Just a slap quick diagnosis because I was unfortunately the last patient of the day and it was extremely obvious. Rushed out and he left the building before I was done checking out. Love that he got into his Tesla parked right next to me. Idk what the buzz is about this place but after 2 appointments I'm disappointed in my care, I have cancelled my appointments and will be looking for a more "with the time" doctor.

Being a former MASTER prepared nurse and teaching at Universities as a former nurse; my students went to hospitals and to doctor's offices! Dr.Powers, teach the students how to do an annual exam and how to do Breast Exams. He always ask his patients; "I have students today, would you be comfortable with them being present and performing the exam with me teaching them hands on." I always say; "yes sir." That is what medicine is all about. We have to learn and we have to " pass the torch to future generations of healthcare professionals." I "ADMIRE," what he does!!

I was the first to review here in 2013 and then did the BRCA test, was positive for a deleterious…read moremutation, and was referred to a specialist and stopped coming here shortly thereafter. Last year, I became pregnant and came back for my obstetric care. I'm over 35 so there was a lot of testing, blood tests, ultrasounds, and referrals to EVMS for special screenings but they handled it all with care and made it fairly easy. I've seen most of the physicians here, as a group, they prefer to rotate you around to everyone so that you hopefully have seen all the doctors who may be on call when you go into labor. Still, you will likely click with one and try to stick with that one if you can. My original doctor, Fontanares, was wonderful, but retired from deliveries at around my 4th month and passed me on to Dr. Sarah Murphy who she said she knew I would love. She was right. I saw her for the remainder and is the Dr. who ultimately delivered my baby girl at Sentara Leigh. I also liked Dr. Connor and Dr. Arbogast but really clicked with Dr. Murphy who is younger, recently had a baby herself, and is very healthy and active. We bonded over both being runners while we were pregnant and staying active late into the third trimester. Dr. Murphy is a D.O. instead of an M.D. If you're like me, you don't know the difference. This means she is a medical doctor with similar practice and education as an M.D. but is doctor of Osteopathic Medicine - meaning the main difference is a more holistic mind/body overall approach to care of patients instead of the M.D. more treat the illness type of approach. Ok, sign me right up! That's exactly what I wanted for my pregnancy/delivery experience and is just what I received. I 100% had the delivery that I wanted. I wanted to remain active, wear a wireless heart monitor for the baby, walk around, wait to get the epidural and stay informed and make choices the entire way. We worked on a plan for induction and scheduled it for a day she was on call. Luckily, my induction/labor only lasted 12 hours and I delivered at 3:49am when her shift was ending at around 8am! We pulled it off. I feel grateful to have had her as my physician for perhaps the biggest medical event of any woman's life - she was a real gem who treated me with respect and as a partner in this event. She listened to me, made sure I was heard, took the time to answer all questions, is very personable and down to earth, everything I wanted. I've heard so many horror stories that I wanted to share a very positive birth experience and positive experience with this practice! I'm sad that I will likely not see her again as I see an oncologist for BRCA/Cancer screening but, if I am released, I will come back!

I'm on Medicare & have a Supplemental that pays everything that Medicare doesn't. When calling about the bill, I learned that TPW had become a division of Mid-Atlantic Women's Care. The new corporation totally changed everything about the operational aspects of the company, They required a total examination, whether one needed it or just came for a minor testing. Patients on Medicare were expected to pay the full amount out of pocket. Both my doctor and I appealed to the office manager that neither of us knew of the change. The front desk person who checked me in also wasn't fully aware of the change. The office manager appealed to their new corporate and assured me that they would offer a credit, since neither I or my doctor were aware of the change, But the bills continued to come, I finally gave up on their making good on the promise and paid the bill. This year when my appointment time was near I received a letter indicating the cost. A signatory of confirmation was required. I canceled the appointment, The acquisition of TPW by Mid-Atlantic Women's Care has ruined the practice for older women. I'm sure for young or middle aged women it's still a wonderful practice. Just no longer for me. I will miss Dr. Bertolino's wonderful level of care,

I've been going to this location for many years, and the service used to be excellent. However,…read moresince mid-2023, it has significantly declined--from the nurses to the nurse practitioners to the doctors. They now recommend too many unnecessary tests and biopsies that cost thousands of dollars and go straight to the deductible. This has left me feeling frustrated, untrusting, and disappointed. I no longer have a reliable OB-GYN I can turn to, someone who knows my history and offers thoughtful care before jumping to procedures. Being in my mid-60s, I know I need good care, but sadly, I won't find it at this practice. To make matters worse, most women's health practices in Tidewater have merged into one physician group. Their approach seems clear: more tests, more procedures, and less personalized care. Trust your gut feeling - take care and be aware of what I shared.
